On another note, there’s no way Lucifer keeps its Monday slot next season. This one will no doubt have a new home on Friday. It’s too weak now to have such a great slot. I’m kinda wondering where The Orville will end up, seeing as its filming schedule suggests more than 13 episodes.

That’s just it. I mean, Lethal Weapon will obviously keep its place along with maybe two comedies. Wednesdays are a lock for Empire & Star. Thursdays sports. Fridays Hells Kitchen & Lucifer? The only other day would be Monday. I can’t see The Orville held for mid season as it wouldn’t make sense. And of course 9-1-1 made a strong case for a fall slot. Messy.

Yeah, I was also curious about this. I’d bet 10 bucks its viewership at 12:30 AM on Adult Swim is at least double what it got at 10:30 PM on TBS. Why it doesn’t come on before/after Big Bang Theory is beyond me!
